The weather on Institute Day was truly horrendous, not only did we have wind and rain, there were hailstorms accompanied by thunder and lightning. Parts of Kenn and Clevedon were without electricity and the Clifton Suspension Bridge was closed for the first time in its history. With all this in mind it was thought that our members would be safer at home and that it was not a good idea to ask our speaker to come from Kingswood. Sadly therefore the meeting was cancelled. Mr. Gingell who was to have told us all about the Art and Science of Chocolate Making will come to us in November instead. We will all look forward to that.
At the March meeting we will welcome Vanessa Giltsoff from Canine Partners. Canine Partners is a charity that assists people to enjoy greater independence and a better quality of life with the help of specially trained dogs. She will be accompanied by her dog Carla. Vanessa is able to raise money from used postage stamps so any that you have and can bring to the meeting will be gratefully received.
The meeting is on Wednesday 12th March at 7.30 p.m. in the Village Hall and visitors are always welcome. If you would like to hear about Canine Partners, do come along.
Plans are well under way for the Fashion Show on May 20th. As soon as the Spring and Summer clothes are in stock at Edinburgh Woollen Mill our models will be going along to choose their outfits. Tickets will be available in good time. Proceeds will be shared with Clevedon Care.
